Bodhisattva Manjushri
Manjushri is seated in the lotus position on a decorated pedestal. Manjushri is a Transcendental Bodhisattva of Mahayana, one of the main currents of Buddhism, which developed between 100 BCE and 100 CE. Bodhisattvas strive for enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings. On this path to enlightenment, Transcendental Bodhisattvas are already very advanced. This sculpture comes from the ancient collection of the Museum. Its precise provenance is unclear.
